Animal Control

HSHV was founded in 1896. We are the only animal shelter in Washtenaw County that takes in all types of unwanted, injured, lost, stray, abandoned, and abused animals. Each year we help over 10,000 dogs, cats, rabbits, and other small animals. HSHV has the highest "save rate" among all similar animal shelters in Michigan? 85% of the animals that come through our doors are successfully helped back home or find a new loving home.

Friendswood Animal Control is a city municipality run by Friendswood Police Department. The shelter focuses on the health of the animals, adoption, and works with volunteers to enrich the lives of the animals while at the shelter. Friendswood Animal Control does euthanize if all the fosters and kennel space is full. The volunteers work to get the animals save by placing into a rescue. The adoption rate at Friendswood Animal Control is 90%.

We are a small group of experienced rescuers, having volunteered with other organizations in the past. We saw a need for shelter rescue in our area, and felt someone needed fill the void. There are amazing dogs dying in shelters, dogs that bring joy to families, they just need a chance. We give them a chance.

The Washington Humane Society, the only Congressionally-chartered animal welfare agency in the United States, has been the leading voice for animals in the District of Columbia since 1870. As the only open-access shelter in the nation’s capital, no call for help goes unanswered, and no animal is ever turned away. The Washington Humane Society provides comfort and care to nearly 30,000 animals each year through its broad range of programs and services including: sheltering, adoption, humane law enforcement, spay and neuter, humane education, human – animal rehabilitation programs, and lost and found services.

The Forrest City Area Humane Society operates primarily in Forrest City, secondarily in the county outside the city limits. We have no law enforcement powers to deal with neglect, abuse, abandonment, or other animal issues outside St. Francis County. We encourage the formation of sister organizations in the surrounding counties; we acknowledge our sister organization in Cross County. We are happy to work with other groups and with local law enforcement in the surrounding counties in so far as we are able to do so. We are a diverse group of people who have the common goal of educating the community through working with others in the area to promote responsible pet ownership. We strive to care for unwanted animals and to place them in good, permanent homes. It is our goal to investigate and prosecute animal abuse in this community.

The Boone Area Humane Society was founded in 1977. We believe that because people domesticated animals, we have a responsibility to ensure their welfare. To ensure humane treatment, we respond to animal neglect and abuse calls, provide animal control, operate an animal shelter for lost, found, and unwanted pets and provide humane education.

We are the Waverly Animal Shelter. We are employed by the City Of Waverly. We take in unwanted, lost, and abandoned animals from Humphreys County and try to find them homes. We work with the Humphreys County Humane Society, and the local vetrinarians, to get the medical care the animals need. We NEED numerous volunteers and donations to help make the animals stay at the shelter comfortable, and enjoyable. If you have a little time you could spare and would like to help, please stop by and pet a pup, or cuddle a kitty. Each of us can make a difference for one animal at a time.
